XS Scuba Single Weight Pocket BLACK

2022-02-15T18:13:56

I bought these weight pockets to add to my cam bands, to fine tune my trim. I haven't used them yet, but I have been using one of the XS Scuba weight belts with 3 of these pockets on each side, for about 10 years, and all I can say is, they are fantastic. I never had a problem with the velcro not holding any weight I put in the pockets. They are easy to ditch the weight and they lay flat when not using them. I also bought another XS Scuba weight belt with 2 of these pockets on each side to use for travel, the 3 pocket on each side belt was kind of bulky for travel.

Perfect for 1, 2 or 3 pounders but 4 is just a little to big for this pouch. They seem to be made well and I like them but they could be a tiny bit bigger

I was too top-heavy with my newly purchased 72 steel doubles so I secured an XS Scuba Single Weight Pocket to the bottom of one of the tanks with 2 stainless steel hose clamps and added a 4 lb weight to lower my feet, Worked great! Sure was a better option than adding ankle weights.

If you dive back-plate or wing, and don't already have trim pockets, you should consider adding 2-4lb to the top tank strap. When floating vertical, the ballast will help counter balance the integrated weights so your face is not in the water. When swimming horizontal, keep your head down, and help you the up/down motion like a porpoise.

Super convenient! Fits my 5lb soft weights with some smushing in.

Great inexpensive Velcro pockets that are good for travel. Easily fit for trim on my sidemount kit.

Great pouch for a weight harness or belt for diving. Appears that it will hold up well!

I bought two of these to use with 5 lb. soft weights. I had been using a double pocket style on each side of my belt but since I wasn't using both pockets, I decided to change to a single pocket style. These pockets are small. I could barely fit a 5 lb. soft weight in them, and the tight fit caused them to be like a hard ball on my belt. Also, one fell out during a dive, causing a big problem since I'm in a drysuit. Fortunately, another diver on the trip found it. I don't recommend these pockets for anything bigger than a 3 lb. soft weight.

Great pockets. The backing is very stiff and tight on normal webbing so the pockets are good at staying in place. It does make install a small pain, but it is a minor trade-off for a pocket that won't rotate on the webbing. One thing to note is that the base of the pockets is fairly long so it can be tricky to get 2 of these onto the same cam band. For this reason I prefer pockets like the ones from DGX for the cam bands and these XS pockets for everything else

I am making up a travel wing for warm water diving. This is the second wing I have used these pockets on. I have never had a problem or lost a weight in over ten years of using these. I will not hesitate to buy more if I need them in the future.

This pocket works great with no chance of losing your weight. I have no idea where the other reviewers were diving to force open the pocket

I dont usually dive with a weight belt because i dive tropical in skins. I usually only need 3 or 4 lbs to get down when im using an aluminum 80 tank. These pockets fit easily on my cam bands so i can dive belt free. I bought 4 of these over the last few months to put on my cold water and warm water cam bands.

I use these with my aluminum backplate since airlines reduced baggage allowances. They help distribute weight onto my back to help keep me horizontal in the water. Been using them for about 5 years averaging 2 trips per year. Velcro still good and they can handle 2 kilos of lead. I use one on each band on opposite sides next to my backplate.

Great trim pockets for the price. Not much to say about them other than they work and fit nicely on my 2" tank cam band

Added to my BCD as trim pockets. Description read holds 5 lbs. but it's definitely stuffed when adding the full 5 lbs. Overall constructed well and would purchase again.

I am a big man who requires quite a bit of weight to attain neutral buoyancy, especially when wearing a wetsuit. I have my weight belt rigged perfectly at home, but when flying to a dive destination issues can come up. Often the belts on the boat are not long enough to string the necessary weight on it when you use the odd 3's,4's, and the occasional 5 pounder you find in the weight box. These pouches take up less room on the belt than stringing weights directly onto it, and they allow adding some weight to the tank mounting strap to adjust trim. They close securely, but be sure to use at least one keeper on the belt to prevent weights sliding off.

The product is great if you have a BC with no weight pockets. Easy on/off. Perfect.

I have 2 of these little pockets on the top cam band of both of my harnesses. I have heavy feet, which could be attributed to my old style Scubapro Jet Fins, so, rather than replace my beloved fins, I use these pockets to shift anywhere between 4 and 8 lbs (2 & 4 per pocket) from weight belt to higher up my torso and this trims me out nicely. For the price, you just can't go wrong with these.

Works great for dead weight on tank. could only fit one on my BC so I used an old weight strap and made a collar to go around tank between BC strap and Regulator.

Inexpensive yet well made, perfect for adding trim weight to a backplate harness or to tank straps.

These pockets make cam band weighting easy! They are a bit cheaper than other similar pockets, which is always a good thing. I hope they hold up over time!

Great trim pockets!!Easy access to insert the weights and firm lock of the velcro strap. I used them with 3 lbs on each pocket. Very happy with this purchase.

Instead of threading weights through a belt just pop them into the pocket. Easy Peasy
